Chapter 710
Ji Kun already understands!
It turned out that I, Qian Qianyi, Zhu Zhiyu, Wang Fuzhi and others had come all the way to either buy the relics or to appraise and copy the books!
As long as they copy "Zi Lun Ge Wu Pian" back and authenticate it as a posthumous text of Confucius, then they will never take a look at the "original" again. This thing is not authentic, so you can't read more. If you read more, it will definitely reveal the truth.
How to say?
Therefore, Emperor Zhu had already arranged a backup plan, asking Dongguo Gege to come forward and take away the so-called originals - once the things were returned to Gege, they would become her dowry, and they would be sent directly to the palace for collection in the future, so that no one else could see them anymore.
...Maybe there will be some fires and floods, and the evidence will be destroyed directly.
Once the evidence is gone, "Zi Lun Investigation of Things" can no longer be false! Then "Zi Lun Investigation of Things" can be added to the Four Books and Five Classics, and from now on it will be the Five Books and Five Classics!
Moreover, "Zi Lun Investigation of Things" is not used to promote the sage political ideal, but to seek the way through investigation of things. It opens the door for Confucianism to seek the great road. Once it is included in the Five Books and becomes a Confucian classic, it is tantamount to
Scholars all over the world have opened a door to the study of studying things to achieve knowledge... From now on, scholars all over the world will study things to achieve knowledge, and no one will try to rebel against the Ming Dynasty. The world will be as solid as a rock!
Emperor Hongxing is so clever!
But where did such a clever method of studying things to gain knowledge come from?
The talented scholar Ji Kunji thought about it over and over but couldn't figure it out, so he had to copy it first. He and Wang Fuzhi each copied a table of bamboo slips, then exchanged them and checked them again to make sure they were word for word, and then they said goodbye.
Jacobs, he went back to Lushunkou City on a business trip.
...
"Okay, okay, this girl from Dongguo is very sensible. She has already obtained the original copy of "Zi Lun Ge Wu" for me, and we will bring it to Laoshan Palace together before the New Year."
Nanjing, Forbidden City.
Zhu Cixiang has already obtained the memorial from Princess Heshuo of Dongguo, and today he even brought it to the meeting between the two governments in Dongnuan Pavilion of Fengtian Palace.
Before the memorial copy of Dongguo Gege was delivered, Qian Qianyi, Zhu Zhiyu, and Wang Fuzhi had already expedited 600 miles to send the copy of "Zi Lun Ge Wu Pian" to Nanjing City. All the important ministers of the two governments read it and returned it.
They all sent congratulatory memorials to Emperor Zhu - this is an "auspicious" event!
The most holy posthumous chapter has appeared in the world, and it is also an important work such as "Zi Lun Ge Wu Pian"!
According to the theory of the unity of man and nature, this shows that Zhu Cixiang is extremely virtuous - I wonder if Dorgon, who fought in Qufu, had any credit? Without him to dig the grave, it seems that this thing can't come out?
Zheng Zhilong, the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue, said with a smile: "Princess Heshuo loves the Ming Dynasty and your Majesty. She has done such great service for your Majesty and deserves a heavy reward."
He is trying to win over comrades for his daughter!
Zheng Chagu, the imperial concubine, is always one level lower than Wu Sanmei, the empress. If she can win over Dongguo Gege, the second imperial concubine, it will be two imperial concubines attacking one empress, and they will be evenly matched.
"It is indeed worthy of a reward!" Zhu Cixiang smiled and nodded, "But now Dongguo is still young and has not yet entered the palace, so it is not convenient for me to reward her, so I will record her merits first!"
Emperor Zhu pushed the matter back, and Zheng Zhilong's favor with him weakened a lot.
He then changed the topic: "Shou Fu, what do you think of "Zi Lun Ge Wu Pian"? Can it be called the Five Books together with "Great Learning", "The Doctrine of the Mean", "The Analects" and "Mencius"?
"Your Majesty, I feel that "Zi Lun Ge Wu Pian" is enough to form its own pattern, and the corresponding ones should be the Four Books and Five Classics."
"Oh? Really?" Zhu Cixiang pretended to be surprised, "Can the knowledge in "Zi Lun Ge Wu" be equal to all the knowledge in the Four Books and Five Classics?"
The content in "Zi Lun Ge Wu Pian" is actually quite complicated. Zhu Cihong was not engaged in philosophy in his previous life, but he was very familiar with induction, deduction, analysis, reasoning, statistics, probability, and operations research. He was very familiar with empirical research.
He was also familiar with the things of Marxism (Practice is the only criterion for testing truth, who in future generations doesn’t know that?), and he also knew some things of dialectical materialism. These miscellaneous things were turned into "Zi said" and "Zi said" by him.
"Gong Wen Yue" was written into "Zi Lun Ge Wu Pian", but he did not go into details - some of them Zhu Cixiang himself did not understand very well, and some were closely related to financial analysis, but Zhu Cixiang could write a book to explain them in detail.
But he didn't do that. He just started, don't be so advanced. So he just opened doors one after another.
Even if we only open the door, there is so much knowledge here! It is not an exaggeration to say that "Zi Lun Ge Wu Pian" surpasses the Four Books and Five Classics!
However, although the knowledge in "Confucius on the Investigation of Things" is vast, it remains superficial and requires in-depth exploration and research. It can be said that "Confucius on the Investigation of Things" is like dozens or hundreds of doors. What is behind the door?
It is up to the great and small Confucian scholars of the Ming Dynasty to dig for themselves - whatever they discover will be great philosophers and great Confucians!
"Your Majesty, the knowledge in "Zi Lun Ge Wu Pian" is of course great, but it is different from the knowledge in the Four Books and Five Classics." Wei Zhuangyuan was the number one scholar after all, and his IQ was still high. He had already seen some knowledge, "The Four Books and Five Classics"
It is to understand the knowledge thoroughly. As long as you read it through, you will be a great Confucian. However, the knowledge in "Zi Lun Ge Wu Pian" is just beginning. Each article can be said to contain heavenly secrets, and it takes a lot of effort to explore its truth.
If you want to learn, then you should study every item in "Zi Lun Ge Wu Pian"!"
That’s right!
These Confucian sayings were summarized by great philosophers in Western history, and each one of them is a piece of knowledge.
And these knowledge itself are methods and tools for understanding the world - that is, methods and tools for studying things to achieve knowledge!
The more you study it, the more it becomes endless.
In comparison, how deep can Confucian politics and moral ethics go? Moreover, these studies have been studied by generations of Confucians for 2,000 years. How much more can be discovered?
"Shou Fu's words make sense!" Zhu Cixiang said with a smile, "Since "Zi Lun Ge Wu Pian" has appeared in the world and contains such great knowledge, we should study its reason... I think that this Taixue and
A great scholar should take "Zi Lun Ge Wu Pian" as the foundation of his scholarship!
As for the Four Books and Five Classics, I have been treating them for so many years, so they are almost done."
Zhu Cixiang wanted to turn Taixue into a national research institution for the study of "Confucius's Theory of Things"! And a bachelor is a scholar who studies "Zi's Theory of Things", rather than a bureaucrat who is only an official without being a scholar.
"Your Majesty, are there any more students to be recruited?" Li Mingrui, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, is now in the same party as Qian Qianyi. Qian Qianyi is not in Nanjing, so he naturally wants to work for the interests of the Nanjing people.
Taixue can’t just do academic work! It also has to recruit Taixue students!
"Here you go!" Zhu Cixiang smiled, "When I find you, I'll learn "Zi Lun's Investigation of Things", and then start arithmetic and investigation of things... In addition, you also need to learn fencing and muskets!"
Taixue will become a university!
However, it is not the kind of university that attaches great importance to professional training in later generations, but a university that provides general education.
"Your Majesty," Li Mingrui asked, "then how should we recruit Tai students?"
"Test!" Zhu Cihong said, "Test "Confucius on the Investigation of Things" and arithmetic... I compiled a book "New Arithmetic". It was not too difficult, so I printed it together with "Confucius on the Investigation of Things".
Hundreds of thousands of copies are then distributed to the education departments of each state, and then the education departments distribute them to scholars for self-study."
Philosophy and arithmetic are all about talent. If you have enough talent, you can achieve some success by self-study. Emperor Zhu doesn't have so many teachers to use now, so he should distribute the teaching materials to let people study on their own for a year or two, and then pass the exam.
The best among them are selected - the custodians are all smart people with IQs above 130.
Then they continue to distribute textbooks for them to study on their own... This university is extremely irresponsible, it is a self-study class!
He paused for a moment: "As for the Grand Bachelor... it can be called the Grand Bachelor of Taixue. Seven people are appointed to jointly manage Taixue. Under the seven bachelors, there is a secretary, who is responsible for secular affairs, and a doctor, who is responsible for teaching students.
